I wonder if there is a symlink from /media/_ to /usr/bin? Or a
spurious mount? Try (as root) "ls -al /media/_" and "mount | grep
media" to see if either conjecture is correct.

The executable should be in root's $PATH. Try "which wireshark" top
see where it is, e.g:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ which wireshark
/usr/bin/wireshark
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

If that shows it to be in /media/_, you have a path problem as well.
